Monrovia-The Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced the immediate dismissal of Mr. Joko Kuyon, Director of Culture of Bong County.
In a dismissal letter dated September 6, 2016 under the signature of Deputy Internal Affairs Minister for Administration, Hon. Varney A. Sirleaf, Mr. Kuyon was dismissed for acts incompatible with his post.
The letter further states that the action by the Ministry follows findings of an instigation commissioned by Internal Affair Minister Dr. Henrique F. Tokpa, which found Mr. Kuyon liable for acts which run counter to local cultural practices.
According to a press release, the Ministry has also suspended Jorquelleh District’s Paramount Chief Mary Larteh, pending full conclusion of an ongoing investigation.
The Internal Affairs Ministry said its action against the two local government officers should send a clear message of its zero tolerance against violators of the law. The release concluded.
